ebetieren

Thats my favourite for german, too (sounds "rounder")

Seriously speaking, but no offense to anyone, I don't like these new words at all.
I use the verb which can be derived from the site's name, and not the abbreviation, i.e.
to track, a tracker

Any of the words starting with "ebt" just don't sound good to me.

eurobiltracciare

Then let me add a very exotic version: INDONESIAN.

The verb could be

a) mengebetekan if it means "to do something for EBT"
b) mengebete if it is a general meaning of doing something at EBT.

For German, I also prefer "ebetieren".

Ebtizar or ebtelizar....

we are all Ebtbros!

In Portugal, we are ebtistas!

Then for Germany I suggest we are EBTer.

And for Indonesian, it is very easy: Peng-EBT.

What does this "Peng" actually mean?

The whole background of word-building in Indonesian is quite complicated but once understood, it helps a lot reading Indonesian texts. To your question: "EBT" here is the root of the word. Prefix "Peng-" means in this case a person who does the thing expressed in the root.

Other functions of the assmiliated pe- prefix are to express a strong penchant for the thing expressed in the root or a machine with which to do what is expressed in the root.

But luckily it is not machines who "mengebete", who do the ebt-ing...

Peng : -er=Indonesian : English ?

Ummm - I've had a try to translate into Chinese (with the help of an on-line dictionary) and came up with:

歐 票 跡

Pinyin (phonetic): ou piào ji

Meaning: Europe Bill/Ticket Track/Trace

I think this satisfies both requirements for translation into Chinese, having a similar meaning, and also being similar phonetically (nearly... ).
